MOUNTAIN BIKE RACING Draper Dash Tour de France Style

X-Men Rider and Pro Winner Jarome Zenger

Story and Photos by Nichole Wangsgaard

Underneath sunny skies, mountain bike racers kicked off the Draper Days cel- ebration of Utah's birthday with the Canyon Bicycle’s Draper Dash. Racers were treated Tour de France style as they rode at the front of the Draper Days' parade for two miles in front of thousands of people before satisfying their singletrack minds in the sage-filled foothills. The parade attracted many anxious people ready to celebrate, but the crowds left race spectators with roadblocks and a long drive to the equestrian rodeo grounds for the race finish. So, veteran fans skipped the parade and race-start and went straight to the finish. Race Organizer Ed Chauner started the categories in quick succession to give race officials time to pack up, head to the finish, and miss the parade. After the promenade on the pavement in front of the crowd, rac- ers came to the lap count area, which circled the equestrian rodeo grounds. Each lap was approximately 7 miles. Beginner riders were on the course for about one hour, sport riders two, and expert/pro riders two to three hours. Beginner men 19-29 rider Jason Sanford finished first in just 50 minutes, while sport men 19-29 winner Chad Wassmer took an intense two hours to navigate the course. As usual, professional and expert men racers had to race the farthest. Jarom Zenger, Cris Fox, and Jeff Bates spent the day at the front of this year's Draper Dash. Pro rider Fox is dominating the Intermountain Cup Point Series this year. He has been to every race in the series and has consistently placed in the top 10. Though he did not win this year's Draper Dash, his second place finish four min- Top: Team Biogen utes behind Zenger increased his series' lead.

Bottom: You go your Not many pro/expert women showed up for the Draper Dash. Lisa Peck was way... out on the course for two hours 20 minutes all by herself. At one point, she had to steer around a few cowboys taking their horses for a walk in the Draper foothills. The cowboys and cowgirls treated all the racers with utmost hospitality as they let everyone pass with ease. Whether watching racers get bucked off their bikes, bust a derailleur, or glide effortlessly through the dirt, you can always count on seeing exciting action at the Intermountain Cup. Unlike the Tour de France, riders must repair flat tires and other mechanical problems on their own. Still, as in the Tour, the cream rises to the top as the series leaders vie to be the Lance Armstrong’s of Utah mountain bike racing. Just three races remain before the winners are crowned at the season finale in Evanston on August 18th. AUGUST 2001 cycling utah.com 11

Thom Cooke, 01:00:10:75 Men’s 3 We left Salt Lake early in the morning. As we drove through 9. Kirk Eck, 01:00:10:75 1. Tom Knopp, 00:59:06:60 Syracuse, we saw an odd site, a fellow dressed in cycling gear walk- ing along the main highway. He was using a cane to guide himself. My wife, Eve, was sure he was headed to Antelope Island for the Ride for the Visually Impaired organized by the Utah League of Tandem Riding Addicts (ULTRA). I thought that was ridiculous since it was more than 15 miles to the island. Since I was driving, we did not stop. When we arrived at Antelope Island 20 minutes later, we found Skip Clinch, a new member of ULTRA from Vernal. Others began to arrive almost immediately, and we soon had five tandems. Eve and I were amazed to find that Joergen Pilz had a blind passenger, a hitch- hiker, the same guy we had seen walking along the road about 45 minutes earlier. It was Charles, a diehard bike enthusiast, and he had walked from the bus stop all the way to the causeway where Joergen had picked him up. Joergen later declared that having Charles as a stoker was like having a V8 installed on your tandem. We were quite humbled by the courage of our stokers as well as their desire to have fun and experience being on a bike again. It is one thing to have faith in another’s ability when you can see for yourself and judge their riding, but to get on a bike not knowing the captain and not being able to see if they are capable is quite another, a real act of faith. The captains did a marvelous job of putting the stokers at ease and helping them to experience the freedom of being on two wheels again. The stokers surprised the captains by their ability to actively participate in riding and the joy they took in doing it. It was a grand day for all who participated. We enjoyed meeting Marianne and her son Jed. Jed is about six years old, and Marianne (who is visually impaired) had just pur- chased a trail-a-bike to attach to a tandem so Jed could ride with her. Joergen had the only tandem to which the trail-a-bike could attach, and he graciously agreed to tow it and Jed. (See the ULTRA website, 762 www.ultra-tc.org/ultra/default.htm for a picture of the three of them riding along.) Cindy and her seeing-eye sister (sorry you had to be there to understand that one) were fun to get to know. Cindy was a runner before her accident and had gorgeous legs to prove it. She was a lit- tle shaky the first time around the loop ride, but by the time we did the second loop she was riding like a pro. Quite a feat for somebody who has little use of her left hand. You could just feel the joy radiate from her as we rode. After riding loops for about three hours, some headed for home while others of us went up to Buffalo Point for buffalo burgers. It was a great way to end our perfect day. Our thanks to everyone who participated and contributed to make this a successful ride.
